The 250/11 is a halftrack with the Pzb 41 2,8mm gun on it. The 251/11 is a telephone vehicle according to my list. Now unfortunately I have not been able to find the exact differences between the 1 and 5/6 versions. But I am sure there has to be. Here is the list I have: 250-troop carrier 250/1 panzergrenadier vehicle 250/2 telephone vehicle 250/3 radio vehicle/overhead frame 250/4 observation vehicle(aertillery) 250/5 mess(kitchen vehicle) 250/6 ammo carrier(!) 250/7 81 mm mortar vehicle 250/8 75mm support vehicle KwK 37 L24 250/9 20mm KwK38 L55 250/10 37mm PAKL45 light AT vehicle 250/11 28mm PZb41 light AT vehicle 250/12 platoon cmd vehicle 252 ammunitioncarrier 253 observation vehicle 251 troop carrier 251/ Stuka on foot with 28 or 32cm rockets 251/2 mortarvehicle 251/3 Radiovehicle 251/4 ammunitioncarrier(!) 251/5 Pioneer(assault)vehicle (!) 251/6 Commando(infantry assault)vehicle 251/7 Engineer vehicle(tools) 251/8 Ambulance 251/9 75mm Stuk 37 251/10 37mm at vehicle 251/11 Thelephone vehicle 251/12 Mess(kitchen)vehicle 251/13 Sound detector recording veh. 251/14 Sound detector receiving veh 251/15 Photographic vehicle 251/16 Flamethrower 251/17 20 mm light FLAK vehicle 251/18 Observation vehicle (artillery) 251/19 Radio interceptionvehicle(spy truck) 251/20 Infra red detection vehicle 251/21 triple 15mm or 20 mm flak vehicle 251/22 75mm PAK 40 AT vehicle Thats all I know. Now I tried to find Spielbergers book (about the Hanomags)on the net but wasnt able too. So if anyone has it please speak up. Henk

Too bad I cant upload or scan any pictures . The Germans had special armored vehicles for that purpose. In Spielbergers Tiger book ,there is a clear picture of a 251 halftrack ammocarrier delivering shells to a Tiger. So it should be possible. actually its no 251 but named hanomag 252 ammocarrier. And now I am thinking of it,can we have the 250/11(2,8mm gun) and the 251/5 and 6(engineer assault vehicle) too? [ August 24, 2003, 02:47 PM: Message edited by: Stoffel ]

I have made a new battle. Dated in march 45. Volkssturm units defend their hometowns against the Russians. germans: green/conscript volkssturm low on ammo with support weapons and teams. reserves: veteran regular hotchpot of units,armor and infantry also low on ammo. Mission: Defend your homeground Russians: Tanks,Arty/and lots of armored infantry Mission : Destroy all resistance I thank jaws43 for adding comments regarding the OOB's. I am looking for two or more playtesters. Stoffel

Like the others said, Welcome on board. You might join Rattlers Tourney. A very good learning experience

I dont know,but you might dl winrar. most troubles are gone than anyway

still I think with a little imagination and skill you can surely make better maps than the one for the first battle. I for one had only a rough drawing of the map I used and made the rest of it from scratch using pictures I found on the net from the surrounding villages, I even used a travel brochure Henk

Rommel's son says something about these units in his fathers book Infantry Tactics. Rommel once joined one of those fornmations and he had all pictures and paintings removed by hunting trofees just to be part of them. he also stated that one had to be a hunter to join these formations.

I usually save the zip file in the map where I want them. Than I use the rightclick mouse button and the extract to ... here function. Does that help?

played the first battle and did not like it,I gave it a low review on several points. One of the points is the poor quality artwork for some of the maps. There seem to be two types,one looking like they came straight out of the editor and there are several beautifull maps. Why is there such a huge difference in maps artwork? I have also noted in one battle there were veteran volkssturm units...... Sorry for the bad review

Theike, The battle Seelow Heights is made by me. The one with the reviews is the original version the other without reviews is the revised one. All battles from the pack start with CDST than the nr and the title. Its not a waist of time to try my battle though:) Henk

that awefully remembers you to stay away from woods,houses,trees,brushes at least 200 meters specially when you near the enemy line.

he is definitely not a good player. Even I could beat him. He refuses to play anything eklse than QB with a series of parameters very balanced towards eachother that gives him a chance of doing a lot of games. Just enough to keep on top of the ladder by winning just enough of them. Like redwolf said,he has taken advantages of the RD ladders scoring system. He also avoid playing the better players,like Fionn. Let me guess what OOB he uses now? Lots of Pak 40/MK IV's(off course all crack/elite with long 75mm guns in 1942)in a small map/village wooden/hills environment with about 25 turns and with the Russians attacking?? Try him to do a scenario with you or a QB with other parameters in 1944/45....bet he chickens out I even offered him to do a battle with forces made by other people to choose from,which he also refused to. Its a given fact that many of ther people on the RD ladder rathe see him dead cause he did a lot of harm to a first class community. I hope Madmatt sticks to his word and will contact his provider to ban him from the net permanently. henk

Hi Mom(hell did I really say that,how nasty ) Nothing to see hear,exceptif you believe in gamey stuff,playing to win only and pissing off people In other words move on with your life as you did not read this topic.

I can even remember that a certain guy named Fionn,offered him a game. Now let me think I heard that name befor somewhere but I cant remember straight away. Anyway he did not dare to fight against him nor in any other battle other than a QB with his own demands(ooops rephrase that with parameters)...........all which are the same in every QB and very hard to win against. In other words dont feed this troll again.

Hi Lindan I did a lot of research for my scenario and send it to Warphead and Rune on their request to look at it. Do you have his email? Or better if both of you read this would you please contact me. I want to know their view about the scenario and dont be nice to me if anything isnt good enough!!

I have played Lodz as the Germans against the AI,it was very easy(I know) But the battle itself was well made. I liked the map too. I have just started breakout 10thSS in PBEM and I will probabaly do the same with Lodz. I will post a review once I finished them. Henk

In the mean time you can try my scenario,available at the depot to get in to the right mood named seelow heights. Henk

no problems here, i also have xp.

try Tacops I started playing that game befor CM came out,and still play it

bump.... nobody with comments,positive or negative ??? I dont care what,anything is ok as long as its constructive or if it adds something

hi major, My original question was indeed based on 2000 meters. to be more specific,why doesnt the unit use its radar to engage targets beyond that visible range? after all thats what makes it a good weapon same goes btw for the Khrizantema,it still doesnt engage aircraft/helos

Hi Matt, Just installed the drivers on a P4 2,8 processor with Geforce FX 5600 card Everything looks OK,fog and night even looks better than befor. No problems till now. short update here,when I open a pbem file or a new scenario which I have downloaded the graphics look like squares,buildings are gone and everything looks strange. Alt tab one time makes everything OK. [ August 14, 2003, 03:45 PM: Message edited by: Stoffel ]

you can do that even in CMBO. place mines on a bridge. to do that you should replace the bridge tile in the editor for an open grass tile. Than place the mines on the map,use several (4) ones. Than place the bridge back in the editor. Have engineers go to it,6 democharges will do the job. The light brigdes can be blown up using all kind of HE weapons. Do a test if you want to be sure. The big 14 inch spotter guns does that fine
